Ep 58: ADD is my superpower, with Nick Cavuoto

NAKED by The Future Farm

For the first episode in our series of conversations with neurodivergent entrepreneurs, Nick Cavuoto joins NAKED. Nick is a serial entrepreneur who discovered late in life that he has ADD, Attention Deficit Disorder. We talk to Nick about living with ADD and how it translates into his entrepreneurial life. What does he mean when he describes it as his ‘superpower’?

Nick has been on a rollercoaster over the last few years. He’s experienced incredible highs, and really low lows, including losing $1million overnight, and having clients walk away during the pandemic. Nick very candidly shares how he hit his lowest point when he was about to lose his wife and family, accepting that he was the problem and that he needed help. Nick talks about the help he received from therapy, where he started to understand his behaviours. Add to this his deep spirituality and faith, Nick was able to get himself to a better place.

Specific topics covered in this episode include:

• Attention Deficit Disorder and the impact of an entrepreneur’s life;
• Why ADD isn’t a negative but a superpower;
• The role of therapy in understanding behaviours, traits and your relationship with your environment;
• Spirituality and faith in healing.

In addition, we discuss the following questions:

• How do you deal with your business almost failing overnight?
• How do you recognise when the time has come to seek help?
• What is the interplay between neurodiversity and entrepreneurship?
